For baseball, my local guy uses a dime line and rarely moves his #'s through the day. His side # is always on the tens -130, -140, etc. And, he doesn't shade his totals (no 8ov, or 8un, he'll just give it at 8-flat -110 either way).
It seems there is serious $$ to be made by simply comparing his #'s to a truly accurate line. My question is, what is the absolute best line to compare it to.
I've tried to compare it to the Don Best Island Express and figuring a consensus line there - the problem there is, if the players have pounded a # in a certain direction, you are just a follower of the action - and that's not a consistent winner (even if you're getting a better # than most).
So, who offers the best, truest # that would represent the best benchmark to compare a local # against.
thanks in advance for your opinions.
